Oli McBurnie

McBurnie was a good defender of crosses.

He was, but if we think we needed a better defensive centre forward and it would have made us better defensively, I think we are a bit off on the direction of travel

What a conundrum, is it the player or how he was played? This year seems to indicate that he absolved do it so what was it about us that meant it didn’t work? We could see there was real talent there. As a Wilder fan in general, you have to ask whether despite the player “liking” Wilder, did the coaching team do enough to ensure he was playing to his ability? In hindsight I’m really not sure that they did.

Do we ever buy a player and play to their strengths?

It’s quite simple.

The Spaniards taught him how to kick a football properly.

Good for them .

Love seeing people still trying to put this lad down. One of the best strikers in the league, just as he was for us last time. A truly appalling decision to not sign him in the summer. Delighted for him though.

 

[KMC-1889]

Oli is not as good as Adams,Dykes, Hirst, Shankland or Stewart according to wee Stevie Clark...

Nothing to do with ability and all to do with McBurnie being a colossal bellend and refusing to apologise for it. Can’t be caught on camera slagging off international team and then expect the manager to call you up.

Thought he was great

He has been great for Hull.

Maybe Auston Trusty, bringing in someone as a centre back and then selling any attacking option whatsoever makes him need to defend quite a lot. Whether he was any good at it is debatable but we gave him the opportunity to try
